They think it only takes a few seconds and they’re so attached to their phones that the urge to text, leave or listen to voicemail messages is hard to resist. Statistics from the National Safety Council (NSC) state that irresponsible cellphone use has increased significantly on our highways and local streets, causing personal injury accidents. The [car accident lawyers](https://www.lawfran.com/car-accident-lawyers/) at The Fran Haasch Law Group have a great deal of experience representing victims of negligent motorists who caused serious accidents while on their cell phones. ## Texting While Driving in Florida Texting and driving is a form of [distracted driving](https://www.lawfran.com/car-accident-lawyers/distracted-driving-accidents/), and texting while behind the wheel is the most significant cause of car accidents on our streets. Florida has an increasing number of automobile accidents occurring due to inattentive drivers texting. When a driver reads or writes a text on their cell phone, it takes away their focus on the road for about five seconds, and at higher speeds, that significantly increases the danger. ![texting and driving is a form of distracted driving](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/LjXQGkn7sNIXRuyF-Aj_osLLFaSqzdT_EwEyKR14rXblN-R-toBBmOudzoewROFRIjng9srDf9izKcuGIo-RAmruN2ARtTlQkSObTkgl_QLP8eRwSd6T64U3Dz2Ie1m7opgWRBgObcdubCfK) ### Florida Texting and Driving Law Florida has the 2nd highest ranking for careless cellphone use resulting in automobile accidents in the country. In 2019, texting and driving became a primary offense, allowing law enforcement officers to issue non-moving traffic violation tickets to people caught texting while driving. Drivers are also not allowed to use a handheld devices in school and work zones. ### Exceptions The law does not apply to a motor vehicle operator who is: - Performing official duties as an operator of an authorized emergency vehicle (law enforcement authorities, fire service, or emergency medical services professional) - Reporting an emergency, criminal, or suspicious activity to the police. - Receiving messages related to the automobile’s function or safety-related information. - Conducting wireless interpersonal communication that does not require manual entry. ## Hard Facts About Negligent Cell Phone Use According to the NSC, about 1.6 million drivers cause car accidents because they use a wireless communications device. Many of these accidents occur due to texting while their vehicle is in motion, accounting for almost 400,000 accidents every year. Every day there are approximately 700,000 drivers using cell phones, headsets, dash cameras, or other electronics while driving an automobile, motorcycle, or even in some cases, an ATV on a Clearwater area beach. ### Inexperienced Drivers According to NSC reports, teenage drivers are at the most risk of causing an accident while on their cell phones. The chances of teenagers being in a motor vehicle accident rise by about 500% when they have friends riding with them. Also, teens have a higher fatality rate as 10% of deadly car accidents are caused by their careless use of cell phones. ![The Fran Haasch Law Group, Texting and Driving, handheld device](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/vnQeLo5152rvGVtEzP5OfXVU7bJ5qoZxK1M_gnFPajW0iOR4IsMgG_TLfeFwTRN-ei4yVBdc2TGlIDjpcuLXrmyYpcbz2ti8dKfY16VKY3y8UagcrsPRTcF6H6w9NPcSPT_gzv1HbIg9txbX) ## What Happens If You Become a Victim Don’t be surprised if the texting driver of the car that causes an accident denies using their cellphone when the accident occurs. It is a common occurrence in many texting and driving cases. However, the police may confiscate the wrongful driver’s phone as evidence, especially if serious injuries or fatalities are involved due to the crash. They may be charged with vehicular homicide or negligent manslaughter. If necessary and serious personal injury is involved, our car accident lawyers can prepare a Spoliation Letter, which will require the party at fault to preserve their cellphone’s contents as potential evidence for any legal action. ### Seek Medical Treatment It is highly recommended that you and any passengers who have been injured go to the nearest hospital emergency center to be [treated by medical professionals](https://www.lawfran.com/car-accident-lawyers/should-i-see-a-doctor-after-an-accident/). Hospital records of treatment received by medical practitioners should be maintained as evidence to support prospective compensation for injuries and provided to the drivers’ insurance companies. In addition, it’s important to follow the medical staff’s instructions for follow-up care. ### Contact an Experienced Car Accident Attorney Contact The Fran Haasch Law Group [as soon as possible](https://www.lawfran.com/when-to-hire-a-personal-injury-lawyer/) to decide if there are [sufficient grounds for legal action](https://www.lawfran.com/how-do-i-know-if-i-have-a-personal-injury-claim-in-florida/) for compensation for an accident victim’s injuries, property losses, or damages. Our firm also recommends that drivers purchase and install a dashboard camera in their vehicle if they want to prove accident fault and liability for a possible vehicle accident in the future. ![The Fran Haasch Law Group, Texting and Driving sign in school zone](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/7sGfDeLPRNZANF3TkCVhnpZNAXeedLJZoZfO-U5wkFpYzPeWqfgwIE5SQvl2c07t8Y6-fuYNO_fdQN15fcZsNprl6Kq0gH-LBWrlB9Ktz8AetQhLGcpNNeLqs0mQitTBsqNJZ40) ## What The Fran Haasch Law Group Can Do For You At The Fran Haasch Law Group, we focus on helping you and your family recover.
